A search for fast pulsars in globular clusters

Millisecond pulsars (MSP) are old neutron stars that have been spun up to high spin frequencies (as fast as 716 Hz) through the accretion of matter from a companion star. The extreme steller densities in the core of globular clusters creates numerous accreting neutron star systems through exchange i...
